hmm

Sometimes I still get scared to go in basements. Have been putting off grabbing the last load of vacation laundry out of the dryer for 40 minns. Only to have my doorbell ring. My neighbor accidently grabbed it and figured it was mine (billy idol teeshirt)

Now that the excitement has worn off, I am a little concerned there might have been a pair of "that time of the month undies" in there


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

back in seattle

so we have returned.... where to begin.
well i ended up buying a new coat, i know it is lame but i could not sleep i was so worried about it. i bought a new one the last day we were there and when i picked up my old coat from the cleaners i was so glad i did because...... the stain was not out. drycleaning does not exsist there. they just washed it and dried it (big no no). i felt like my crazy paid off for once.

josh and i spent our last day strolling around the beach of SS. touring the aquarium. eatting of course, and taking a coffee in bilbao plaza. then tapas with imanol and lucia. i will miss them so much.

took a train back to madrid and walked around a little bit. bought some sammi's and then had a lost laptop party at the hotel. by lost we mean the show and laptop we mean we watched it on the laptop.

traveling back was easy until we got to canada and had to go through their customs. seemed stupid since we were only gonna be there for a hour. kinda wanted to be like, hey man its non of your business whats in my bag. the security to get into the states was crazy. they did this weird thing where i had to put my hands in my pockets and then they swiped my hands and tested it for something. totally bizarre. but better safe then sorry i guess.

anyways so good to be home. hefner almost smothered me to deaf in my sleep. i have been carrying him around like a baby. sweet guy.
now ciao!

red sole

Wow, he must be doing something right

SS


is so amazing i guess is the best way to describe. 3 mountains seperated by 3 beaches and also a river that runs off into the ocean. by far one of our faves. imanol and lucia have been great hosts. they have a cobayas. like in the photo! named kobe! he is sweet and i think he either a. likes me b. i scare him shitless. dunnoooooooooo
anyways. yesterday we walked all around the coast and then stopped for some pintxos or tapas. they have been not so veggie friendly but the ones we have made due with have been very tasty!
drinking lots of xalimoxto. i think i spelled it wrong but its ice, wine, and coke. had a lot of it in seattle with these kids.
today we went up one of the mountains to a tine amusement park. rode a few rides. cosmic cars- which included being hit in the face with random things hanging from the ceiling. a tiny roller coaster with no bars or belts just a chain (maybe the most dangerous). then a casa de la terror which i found to be very scary because they had a lot of lights reflecting off mirrors . i could not tell if i was seeing things and having a panic attack or if it was part of the effect. jeesh.

the views have been so great. ocean upon ocean. we also walked to what imanol called a wind scraper. it touched up to the waves and there had holes in the ground to when the waves hit , it would shoot salty air up through the wholes! all these kids would stand over and scream!

tomorrow is our last full day of vacation and it seems as if the time in SS has gone by so fast. last night i had bad dreams about returning to work, only not the job i have now. in my dream i had to go back to work in michigan. not that i didn't love my job there, but i think where i live is not to far from paradise to me. anyways time for bed so i can seize the day tom! ciao!

greasy hair?

SS

yesterday we left paris by train. i sat across from a very sweaty french lady who kept whimpering into her phone "pour qoui???". if i spelled that wrong sorry. i watched the office till my computer died. we then took another train to SS! SOOOOOOOOO beautiful. we were greeted by Imanol and Lucia! they live on salud st! get it like cheers? wha wha. we walked to the beach and through the city. drinking white wine at a few places and having small plates. my options were pretty slim. i had a pistacio croqetta, a cheese one as well, some bread, tortilla, and risotto. yummy.

today josh and i woke up late, and took real showers. not like the piss drizzle ones in france. we walked through ss and searched for food. i kept drinking coffee and had a mini panic attaccek. stupid me for not packing my emergency pills. i sat outside for a while in front of the cathedral and it passed. josh took me to zara to make me feel better. i got some of the cutest things for my niece and so to be niece!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeee. more for my niece of course because she is my little berry!!!!!!!!!! of course more wine as well. the mission to find josh shoes was completed as well. he got some brown vans...... hope he gets a shirt or something else. i feel like a spazz with all the stuff i bought. though alot of it is presents for family!!!!!!!!!!!!! And for hefner's babysitter. i wont let myself be nervous when i get home over money! only live once! sisisisii

bon jour ca va?

oui ca va! today was our paris redemption. went to a bakery and bought some cheap sammis. ate them on the street then hopped on a train to the saint paul stop. i had read about the most amazing vintage store and oh man was it! got some white ankle boots, rad red 80's sweater, poufy white blouse, 2 hats, a dress, and a shirt for josh for 61 euro!
while walking back to the train found some sweet little black flats.
then on to the louvre! josh blew it out with the photos and then later found himself overwhelmed. me on the other hand..... well there is this thing that always happens to me in museums. my hands swell and i sneeze and get a sore throat. it is so stupid. the hand swelling thing is what freaks me out my engagement ring was cutting off circulation. eek
on the way back to the metro, i made a point to stop at Laduree for some macrons! I got a few chocolate and pistacio! I also got some cookies for Lucia, Imanols lady since i have never met her and we will be staying with them for the duration or our trip after tomorrow!
that is all for today!

ps. hot and spicy pringles are the shit!
